Biography
Harald was the son of Authr the Deep-Minded, the daughter of Ivar Vidfamne, and the half-brother of Randver, the son of King Rathbarthr of Garthariki. Harald became king of Zealand after Ivar's death, and he also claimed Scania as his own. Harald, who was only fifteen years old in 705, had to fight to conquer Sweden. Harald proceeded to invade England and appoint kings and jarls after collecting tribute, and an elderly Harald decided to challenge Sigurdr Ring of Svibjod to a battle at Bravellir in the mid-8th century to decide the fate of the elderly Harald's empire. In the ensuing battle, the blind king Harald was slain in battle, fulfilling his wishes of dying on the field and not in bed.
